Docker does not respect the .dockerignore file when building from a tar.
Instead by default we'll make a local clone into a tmp directory and
build from there. Subsequent builds will reset the clone to match the
checkout.
Compared to building directly in the repo, we'll have reproducible
builds.
Compared to using a git archive:
1. .dockerignore is respected
2. We'll have faster builds - docker can be smarter about caching the
build context on subsequent builds from a directory
To build from the repo directly, set the build context to "." in the
config.
If there are uncommitted changes, we'll warn about them either being
included or ignored depending on whether we build from the clone.
Allow hosts to be tagged so we can have host specific env variables.
We might want host specific env variables for things like datacenter
specific tags or testing GC settings on a specific host.
Right now you either need to set up a separate role, or have the app
be host aware.
Now you can define tag env variables and assign those to hosts.
For example:
```
servers:
- 1.1.1.1
- 1.1.1.2: tag1
- 1.1.1.2: tag2
- 1.1.1.3: [ tag1, tag2 ]
env_tags:
tag1:
ENV1: value1
tag2:
ENV2: value2
```
The tag env supports the full env format, allowing you to set secret and
clear values.
Currently the latest container is the one that was created last. But if
we have had a failed deployment that left two containers running that
would not be the one we want. The second container could be in a
restart loop for example.
Instead we want the container that is running the image tagged as
latest. As we now tag as latest after a successful deployment we can
trust that that is a healthy container.
In the case that there is no container running the latest image tag,
we'll fall back to the latest container.
This could happen if the deploy was halted in between the old container
being stopped and the image being tagged as latest.
If you are deploying more than one destination to a host, the latest
tags will conflict, so we'll append the destination to the tag.
The latest tag is used when booting the app or exec-ing a new container.
If a deploy doesn't complete on a host for all roles then we should
probably not be using it, so move the tagging to the end of the boot
process.
This will allow us to filter for containers that have no destination in
cases where we deploy an empty + a non empty destination to the same
host.
To note:
```
\# Containers with a destination label
$ docker ps --filter label=destination
\# Containers with an empty destination label
$ docker ps --filter label=destination=
```
If no context is specified and we are in a git repo, then we'll build
from a git archive by default. This means we don't need a separate
setting and gives us a safer default build.
Building directly from a checkout will pull in uncommitted files to or
more sneakily files that are git ignored, but not docker ignored.
To avoid this, we'll add an option to build from a git archive of HEAD
instead. Docker doesn't provide a way to build directly from a git
repo, so instead we create a tarball of the current HEAD with git
archive and pipe it into the build command.
When building from a git archive, we'll still display the warning about
uncommitted changes, but we won't add the `_uncommitted_...` suffix to
the container name as they won't be included in the build.
Perhaps this should be the default, but we'll leave that decision for
now.
Secret and clear env variables have different lifecycles. The clear ones
are part of the repo, so it makes sense to always deploy them with the
rest of the repo.
The secret ones are external so we can't be sure that they are up to
date, therefore they require an explicit push via `envify` or `env push`.
We'll keep the env file, but now it just contains secrets. The clear
values are passed directly to `docker run`.
If curl is not available to download the docker install script, try
with wget instead.
If neither is available or both fail, return a simple failing script
so that we don't carry on regardless.

By default we keep 5 containers around for rollback. The containers
don't take much space, but the images for them can.
Make the number of containers to retain configurable, either in the
config with the `retain_containers` setting on the command line
with the `--retain` option.
If the app container is down or not responding then traefik will return
a 404 response code. This is not ideal as it suggests a client rather
than a server problem.
To fix this, we'll define a catch all route that always returns a 502.
This is not ideal as this route would take priority over a shorter route
with priorty 1.
TODO: up the priority of the app route.
Adding -T to the copy command ensures that the files are copied at the
same level into the target directory whether it exists or not.
That allows us to drop the `/*` which was not picking up hidden files.
